The article discusses the scientific approaches of Viktor Synov to the formation of personal potentials of people with special educational needs, including in the conditions of visual deprivation. The author emphasizes the importance of complex formation of personality qualities that optimize the development of cognitive abilities, promote the development of cognitive interests, critical thinking and independence. The theoretical and methodological foundations of Viktor Synov's concept are consistent with the concepts of humanistic psychology, and his scientific works have become the basis of modern national research in the field of personality development of persons with functional disabilities, in particular persons with visual impairments. The formation of Viktor Synov's scientific positions in the development of personality theory was influenced by Lev Vyhotskyi's doctrine of the cultural and historical development of humanity. The article presents the results of Viktor Synov's theoretical and methodological research on the existence of general and specific patterns in the development of personality in the conditions of dysontogenesis.
The creative processing of the positions developed by Viktor Synov in terms of the impact of visual impairment on this process allowed us to specify and develop them. In particular, the materials of Yevheniia Synova's doctoral dissertation identified specific patterns of mental development of a personality in conditions of visual deprivation, which later formed the basis of the concept of personality formation in visual impairment. In modern typhlopsychology, this process is considered through the implementation of comprehensive correctional and compensatory work, which includes the following areas: preventive, correctional, social integration and self-realization. The article emphasizes the need for further research on the impact of Viktor Synov's scientific approaches on personality development in the context of modern educational reforms and trends, including individualization of learning, development of “soft skills”, self-knowledge, self-regulation, self-realization and creativity.
